Wazoo holy man head-shot
 DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Gunmen ambushed a pickup truck carrying prominent tribal militant Asmatullah Shaheen on a road in near Tank in South Waziristan on Sunday, seriously wounding him and his two bodyguards, police and a militant said. Other tuff guyz fighters took the pro-Taliban Shaheen and the two other wounded men to an undisclosed private hospital in Wana, the official said. It was not clear who targeted Shaheen, he said. Shaheen was in serious condition with a bullet wound in his head, a fellow fighter said.
| "Aaaarrr! Drilled 'im right through the turban, they did! In one side an' out t'other!" |
Shaheen is the leader of a band of militants in Jandola. A week ago, Shaheen held a meeting in Jandola with hundreds of local tribal supporters where he issued a warning for men to grow beards. He also warned local clerics not to solemnise the weddings or funerals of men without beards, an intelligence official in the region said.
